Although the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is months away, the competition and zeal among the teams are still throbbing. And on Tuesday, a friendly banter on Twitter among the winners of the last three IPL seasons left people excited and in splits.

It all started with a rather unthreatening selfie shared by Hardik Pandya on the micro-blogging site. Sharing a photo of himself with his Mumbai Indians teammates — Kieron Pollard and elder brother Krunal Pandya, the all-rounder wrote, “I had to hold my phone pretty high to fit Big Polly into the frame. Happy to see you again my brother.”

The photo got IPL fans excited and even garnered the attention of the franchise, who while retweeting Pandya’s tweet posted a challenge on Twitter. “Find a better allrounder trio. We will wait,” MI wrote in their tweet acknowledging the efforts of all-rounder trio, who have been significantly responsible for maintaining the team’s dominance and success record in the tournament.
